This hypothesis proposes that targeted enhancement of mitophagy in microglia and motor neurons will prevent cytoplasmic mtDNA accumulation, thereby blocking cGAS-STING pathway activation and interrupting the neuroinflammatory cascade in ALS. The mechanism centers on the observation that TDP-43 pathology—present in >95% of ALS cases—disrupts mitochondrial homeostasis through impaired mitophagy, leading to compromised mitochondrial membrane integrity and subsequent mtDNA release into the cytoplasm
## Mechanistic Overview
Dose-Response Framework: PINK1/Parkin Mitophagy as the Critical Mediator Linking HBOT Parameters to Tau Clearance starts from the claim that modulating not yet specified within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process.
